Not to my knowledge. You might have to organize and lead one yourself.


I do believe I might - you've inspired me greatly. No joke.

The Troubled Teen Industry / Christmas in program
« on: December 19, 2007, 12:28:33 PM »
In rap/Christmas open meeting (holiday raps were always the longest and the worst altogether - somehow it was this unwritten rule that you were supposed to come down hardest on the special days), crying my heart out, begging to go home in front of 200 people, begging to just be able to see my sisters again - I gave up begging for school because I was made to see that that was "manipulating" and "fake". And then finally at the end of the night/early morning getting blasted for "pushing feelings", but then being told that they all thought I was just about "broken" and had almost "hit my bottom". Going to some anonymous host home for Chistmas morning exhausted and dazed - no clue what the fuck they wanted from me or how to escape.

I ran on New Year's Eve.

The Troubled Teen Industry / What helped you most to recover after program?
« on: December 19, 2007, 12:16:34 PM »
In the case of the program I was in, it was almost always the mother with pushing the program - the father usually kind of reluctantly dragged along.

I really think there is an interesting observation there. Some sort of Medea complex - the mother driven to kill her children for motives unknown.

Proving them (program, parents) wrong - aceing classes, working at a brilliant fucking job, making more money than my parents and/or AARC staff.


High adrenaline stuff like skateboarding down hills at 45 mph.


Severing communications w/ my mother - I've realized that interacting with her is still damaging. By any objective standards I am doing phenomenally well in my life - but she continues to cast this shadow over everything I do because years ago I smoked pot a few times. To add to that, it hurts so badly that she now knows exactly what happened to me there and still defends them (and herself), saying they were only trying to help. What part of psychological torture and sexual assault was supposed to be helpful? Anyway, not talking to her is the most positive thing I can do in my life. These deadend arguments that always end with my questioning her sanity and/or humanity do me no good.


And the converse of the above: surrounding myself with strong, intelligent, sane people.

by the way, if you read any of ron wms other articles/tracts..they are all just as ridiculous (i cringe at the ones about why women should not work outside of the home)...and he used to have a tract on there, it was actually written by his wife, pattti williams...it was called "schizophrenic women", but i believe that link has been removed as well.  if you can ever get ahold of a copy of that, you should read it!!!!!


Ask and you shall receive..........


"Schizophrenic Women":
http://web.archive.org/web/200104191237 ... Women.html

"Nakedness" - One should not be surprised to see outlandish and immodest dress in an age of apostasy. Certainly, God's people ought to set the example for Godly attire by following Biblical principles set forth in this tract. Especially important for the ladies.
http://web.archive.org/web/200308190943 ... dness.html

"Doubleminded Women " - Our most popular tract, and our most controversial. It explains how and why a woman ought to dress and act like a lady .
http://web.archive.org/web/200308191000 ... women.html

"Marriage: How It Should Be Contracted" - why the feeling-oriented, flesh-dominated dating process of contemporary Christianity failed in producing strong, stable marriages; makes a case for parents being vitally involved in making the marriage contract.
http://web.archive.org/web/200310091328 ... riage.html

"Socialization" - explains how believers have harmed their children by allowing social relationships they never should have allowed, refutes the modern error of "socialization" for our youngsters. Especially good for home schoolers and those seeking a separated lifestyle for their family.

Open Free for All / China Laces Toys with Ecstacy

I looked at the article again and didn't see a reference to MDMA, or missed it.  What I read was
Quote
The chemical culprit of all this is 1,4-butanediol, which breaks down into gamma hydroxy butyrate, also known as the "date rape drug."

which was supported by other articles I read. What is MDMA?


MDMA is ecstacy. Comprendez-vous?

Clearly you don't have children, but are you a scientist? I'm not.
Are you saying that 1,4-butanediol doesn't metabolize into GHB?
If not, then go edit Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,4-Butanediol
and notify Reuters
http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/ ... 2120071107

So, they should leave this product on the shelves so other kids can have the delightful experience of puking their guts out and coma? Death wasn't mentioned.
While 4-7 year old are less likely to ingest them, younger siblings that happen to find them lying around might. The beads are not large enough to be a choke hazard.

Uh... no one said that 1,4-Butanediol doesn't metabolize into GHB, nor did they say that this product should be left on the shelves, rather that GHB is not the same as MDMA which is what was stated in the article. More than that, the article is reactionary, inaccurate and intentionally sensationalist in a way that does not become any "journalist". But hey, that's the way y'all roll in the grand ol' U S of A, isn't it. Constant drama and terror so that no one ends up thinking too critically.

I don't mean to imply that this isn't a fairly major issue that certainly should give parents reason to think twice about what they bring into their homes and let their kids chew on, I just can't stand misleading, emotion-wrought reporting that obscures actual facts and concerns with snappy, punchy story-selling headlines like "China Laces Toys with Ecstacy". And on the subject of malicious exportation of dangerous products, maybe a country responsible for the "War on Terror" not to mention the entire "troubled teen" industry shouldn't be throwing stones from within their clearly fragile glass McMansion.

Here are some more facts, and a bit less fear-mongering if you're interested.

The Troubled Teen Industry / What boot camp did Samuel Sheinbein attend?
« on: November 17, 2007, 09:03:27 PM »
From AARC, of the approx. 30 people I was in group with, Jason Woods and Cody Bates have been arrested for murder and Devon Newson committed suicide in jail. Extrapolating just from my group, graduates have about a 7% chance of murdering someone, and 8-12% chance of attempting or committing suicide in a public enough way to b noticed. And still they claim an 85% "sobriety" rate - sure I guess that works if you're counting dead people and those in high-security lockup as "sober".

Andy Evans also was arrested for murder a few months back - I was not in group with him. Brian Neil (formerly at kids and then staff at AARC) committed suicide a long time ago. That's all I know of for certain, but I know that at least a few more have killed people, and a number have committed suicide.

Keep in mind, less than 400 people have been through AARC altogether.

Dixie, please contact me if you are willing to... It's not nearly as bleak as it may seem. There is a lot going on behind the scenes that would likely cheer you up at least a little.

Email me at [email protected] and I'll give you my phone #.
